The "communism is capitalism" comment was an interesting one, but should't be taken literally, or out of context. I'm not saying I agree, I'm just saying I understood what he was trying to express.

Sure, he violated the cardinal rule of contentious online forums by not being completely literal.

Why flame him for it?


Well, I can't be sure of his true meaning, or that he undertands the difference between the two. A comment like that makes me wonder. Since the heart of the discussion here is the business practices of a company in a capitalist society, I just hope we all understand the system, such as it is.
